Definitions

Description
- The present invention provides a method for producing homo- and co-polymers of ethylene, or more particularly a method for producing homo- and co-polymers of ethylene by means of using a catalyst of high activity to produce said polymers of high bulk density and narrow molecular weight distribution.
- Catalysts containing magnesium for polymerization or co-polymerization of ethylene are known to have very high catalytic activities and to accord polymers of high bulk density, which are suitable for liquid phase or gas phase polymerization. By liquid phase polymerization of ethylene, it denotes a polymerization process performed in a medium such as bulk ethylene, isopentane, or hexane, and as for the important characteristics of catalysts used in this process, there are as follows: high catalytic activity, bulk density of the resultant polymers, etc. Among these, the catalytic activity is deemed to be the most important characteristic of a catalyst.
- Many of the titanium-based catalysts containing magnesium for olefin polymerization, and the manufacturing methods thereof have been reported. Especially, many processes making use of magnesium solutions to obtain catalysts which can generate olefin polymers of high bulk apparent density have been known. There is a means of obtaining a magnesium solution by reacting magnesium compounds with such electron donors as alcohol, amine, cyclic ether, or organic carboxylic acid in the presence of a hydrocarbon solvent. As for the cases of use of alcohol, they are disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,330,649 and 5,106,807. Further, the methods for production of catalysts containing magnesium by reacting said liquid-phase magnesium solution with a halogenated compound such as titanium tetrachloride are well known. Moreover, there have been attempts to control polymerization activity or molecular weight distribution by adding ester compounds. Such catalysts provide high bulk density to the resultant polymers, but there is much yet to be improved with respect to their catalytic activities or molecular weight distribution of polymers. Moreover, tetrahydrofuran, a cyclic ester, has been used as a solvent for a magnesium compound in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,477,639 and 4,518,706.
- Meanwhile, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,847,227, 4,816,433, 4,829,037, 4,970,186, and 5,130,284 have reported the use of such electron donors as dialkylphthalate, phthaloyl chloride, etc. in reaction with the titanium chloride compound for the production of olefin polymerization catalysts of superior polymerization activity, which are capable of enhancing the bulk density of resultant polymers.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,459,116 has reported a method of production of a titanium solid catalyst by contact-reacting a magnesium solution containing an ester having at least one hydroxyl group as an electron donor with a titanium compound. By this method, it is possible to obtain a catalyst of high polymerization activity, which accords high bulk density to resultant polymers, but there is room for yet more improvements.
- With respect to polymerization of α-olefin, particularly, with respect to polymerization of propylene, the art of using external electron donors for increasing stereo-regularity is commonly known in the field and is used widely in the industry. As for external electron donors, alkoxy silane compounds are widely known. However, in these cases, the stereo-regularity of polymers increases, but the molecular weight distribution broadens in relative terms. Korean Patent No. 93-665 discloses a method of broadening the molecular weight distribution by using organic silane as an external electron donor during polymerization of propylene, and the benefits thereof.
- The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for producing homo- and co-polymers of ethylene by means of catalysts of superior catalytic activity, wherein said polymers have high bulk density and narrow particle distribution. More particularly, the present invention provides a method for producing homo- and co-polymers of ethylene, having narrow molecular weight distribution of polymers, which involves controlling the particle morphology of polymers and using catalysts of high polymerization activity.

- Into a 1.0L reactor equipped with a mechanical stirrer, replaced with nitrogen atmosphere, 9.5 g of MgCl2 and 400 ml of decane were placed therein. After stirring at 500 rpm, 77 ml of 2-ethyl hexanol was added thereto. The temperature was raised to 110° C., and then the reaction was allowed to continue for three hours. The homogenous solution, which was obtained after the reaction, was cooled to room temperature (25° C.).
- (ii) Step: Contact-Reaction of Magnesium Solution With Ester Containing a Hydroxyl Group and Alkoxy Silane Compound
- To the magnesium compound solution, cooled to 25° C., 1.2 ml of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and 14.0 ml of silicon tetraethoxide were added, and then the reaction was allowed to continue for an hour.
- (iii) Step: Treating with Mixture of Titanium Compound and Silicon Compound
- After adjusting the temperature of said solution to room temperature (25° C.), a solution mixture of 50 ml of titanium tetrachloride and 50 ml of silicon tetrachloride was dripped thereto for one hour. After completing the dripping process, the temperature of the reactor was raised to 80° C. and maintained at that temperature for one hour. After stirring, after cooling it to room temperature, the supernatant of the solution was removed, and the remaining solid layer was continuously instilled with 200 ml of decane and 200 ml of titanium tetrachloride. There, the temperature was raised to 100° C. and maintained thereat for two hours. After the reaction, after cooling it to room temperature, it was washed with 400 ml of hexane until the removal of free unreacted TiCl4. The titanium content of the solid catalyst so produced was 5.2 wt %.
- Polymerization
- A 2-L high-pressure reactor was dried in an oven and assembled while hot. In order to make the inside of the reactor nitrogen atmosphere, nitrogen and vacuum were alternatively manipulated three times in the reactor.

Then, 500 ml of hydrogen was added. The temperature of the reactor was raised to 80° C. while stirring at 700 rpm with a stirrer. The pressure of ethylene was adjusted to 80 psi, and the polymerization was allowed to continue for an hour. After the polymerization, the temperature of the reactor was lowered to mom temperature, and an excessive amount of ethanol solution was added to the polymerized matters. The polymer thus produced was collected by separation and was dried in a vacuum oven at 50° C. for at least six hours, whereby polyethylene was obtained in the form of white powder.
